Traditionally practiced in the Sierra Madre mountains of western Mexico, korima has been adapted by urban-dwelling Rarámuri in border cities like Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez. Amid challenges like industrialization and marginalization, the Rarámuri manifest korima in urban spaces through practices such as dressmaking, running, resource sharing, and preserving traditional ecological knowledge. These efforts transform Chihuahua and Ciudad Juárez into sites of cultural resistance and ecological stewardship. By exploring these adaptations, the lecture highlights the role of korima in addressing social and environmental injustices, offering insights into how indigenous frameworks of reciprocity can inform sustainability and resilience in urbanized contexts.
